Why these changes?
It is a subpar tree and needs a remastery compared some of the other trees like Druid that was updated. If this tree needs revamping, please let me know (AP IS NOT SET UP, DO NOT ASK FOR AP SET UP, THANKS). Note: this will seem overpowered or overbalanced, but it isn't (:

Please leave comments (:

There was a discussion in the paladin forum about KOTC earlier this year. Couple of extra suggestions here. Add divine presence for charisma based builds. Also I think Rally should be changed to provide the strength domain or war domain channel divinity abilities.

Updated, also checked it out. Don't know how it should provide a bonus to a domain it does not equal. Paladin levels don't get domains.

I know paladins don't get domains; however, they could get granted a domain granted ability through an enhancement. There are some character options like that for 3.5 so it could work. The scaling might have to be changed to key off religious lore feats instead of class level though.

I like playing Paladins in D&D in general and my main gripe with them I have in DDO is they basically have 3 trees, 1 of which is dps and the other 2 are basically tanks.

First we need to delete either Vanguard and Sacred Defender and remodel the remaining one as this is the first problem. Secondly KotC needs some polish, with the main focus to take things into Epic level to be viable.

This will then give us a new 3rd tree that can be used as either a pure DPS tree or some hanging fruit to support the tanking one. Alternatively the new tree could be for either a ranged Holy Paladin build or caster Tree. (Caster tree needs to gain either new abilities and/orc buff CC to existing/new spells)
